9. Video won't sync with audio, or video is missing

10. Slow Speed of MKV VP9 Encode

11. Crashes every time converting video to MKV VP9

Handbrake 1.0.7 Alternative to Convert Video on Windows (10) or MacOS Sierra

Step 1. Add video, audio, Blu-ray, DVD

There are two ways to import files into the program, (1) Click the "Add File", "Add DVD", "Add Blu-ray" button to browse your computer's folders and select the file(s) you want or (2) For video/audio files, just drag-and-drop the files you want directly from your desktop into the main window and remember, you can import multiple files one by one.
